Glassnode launches proximity-weighted cost basis signals for BTC and ETH
- —PSR assigns exponentially decaying weights to 100 cost-basis quantiles based on distance from spot
- —PSI = PS/(PS+PR); readings above 0.5 mean more proximity-weighted supply sits below spot
- —In 2023 PSI stabilized above 50% in October before BTC rallied into the low $40,000s
- —Proximity Premium was statistically significant at the 1% level for both BTC and ETH
Why it matters: The framework gives traders a new way to gauge nearby supply and demand levels, though Glassnode frames it as a signal rather than a guarantee of price outcomes.
